cup holders
 

Someone on the board was talking about converting the ash tray to a cup holder.
Does anyone have a picture of this and how it was done?

Nope. But I have a console from a '77 JImmy in my '72. It looks exactly the same, but instead of the seat belt holder slots it has cup holders on either side of the ash tray.

I was thinking about turning my ash tray into a pull out cup holder. I haven't exactly figured out how though. Right now it is just a dream. If you come up with a good design, let us know.

If you guys figure out how to build one, let me know how you did it. I'm a non-smoker but I usually have either a cup of coffee with me or a can of pop. I need to figure something out (of course, I should get it running before I start projects like this...)

Great idea! The wifes car has something like that that just may make a great conversion. I am gong to see if I can mate the two. I have to find another toyota first as she would not like me taking hers out. Joker69

all you have to do is go to Year One they sell single and double cup holders for your ash trays.

Looks like a plan! One big hole in the ashtray coming up! Another notch or two in the bottom to allow clearance for that piece of flat to swing forward when closed... I think you guys just solved a long time inconvenience.

But now where am I gonna put all my change?
